Patient Positioning

Getting prepared
1.
Let the patient remove all the metal objects (glasses, earrings, hair pins, braces, false
teeth, etc.). Metal objects may induce ghost images and lower the image quality.
2.
Have the patient wear a lead apron to protect themselves from residual radiation.
3.
Use the Column UP/DOWN button or switch option to adjust the equipment to match the
height of the patient.
4.
Press the Rotation test button in the Console program and check that the equipment
touches a part of the patient while the equipment is running.
Green Smart User Manual
Have patience (especially pregnant women and children) wear a

lead apron to protect themselves from residual radiation.
Be careful not to shine the laser beam directly into the person's

eyes. Doing so may result in vision loss.
Correct posture reduces the shadow cast by the patient's cervical

spine and allows clear image acquisition.
Metal implants or bridges may reduce the quality of the images.

Be sure to adjust laser beam correctly. Otherwise, the quality of

images can be lower due to ghost images or expansion/reduction
of the images.
